James:

How much space are you using as I have space I have paid for for a year
and I am not using it. Give up on your provider as a lost cause and I will
give you space.

Kathleen.



This is a quote from the Perl 'bible':

<quote>
On the more security-conscious sites, running all CGI scripts under the
  -T flag isn't just a good idea: it's the law. We're not claiming that
running in taint mode is sufficient to make your script secure. It's
not, and it would take a whole book just to mention everything that
would. But if you aren't executing your CGI scripts under taint mode,
you've needlessly abandoned the strongest protection Perl can give you.

===================================

Can you provide a URL?
(or is that a book?)


I'm preparing for a response from MY host and want to be able to cite a
source.
